America's Funniest Home Videos (often simply abbreviated to AFHV or its on-air abbreviation AFV) is an American reality television program airing on ABC, which features humorous homemade videos that are submitted by viewers. The most common videos feature unintentional physical comedy (arising from incidents, accidents, and mishaps), pets or children, and some staged practical jokes.
《美国家庭滑稽录像》,通常简称为《AFHV》或《AFV》,是美国广播公司播出的一套电视真人秀节目。节目中播放观众制作并提交的搞笑录像。最常见的录像一般是无意造成的动作喜剧(可能是小事故、意外和倒霉事件等),或关于小孩、宠物的笑料,有时也可能是有意安排的整人游戏。

Originally airing as a special on 26 November, 1989, it debuted as a regular weekly series on 14 January, 1990. The majority of the video clips are short (5-30 seconds) and are mostly related to the host's monologues. Videos typically feature people and animals getting into humorous accidents caught on camera; while others include clever marriage proposals, people and animals displaying interesting talents (such as pets that sound like they speak certain words or phrases, or genius toddlers with the ability to name all past U.S. Presidents), and practical jokes.
1989年11月26日该节目作为特辑播出,随后在1990年1月14日以定期播映的系列节目形式正式推出。大多数录像视频时长5—30秒,并且只有录制者的旁白。视频中多是人和动物被抓拍到的惹人发笑的意外情节,也有其他类型,如巧妙的求婚、人和动物展示的有趣的天赋技能(宠物发出类似单词或句子的声音或者天才婴儿顺利说出美国历任总统的名字)以及其他恶作剧。

The winner wins $10,000 and is in the running for the $100,000 prize at the end of a seven- or ten-show run, while the runner-up receives $3,000 and the third place video receives $2,000.
